So far students have heard from a variety of different speakers on how identity is impacted by the globalised world around us, ancient philosophy & Plato’s Dialogues and have investigated the formation of human rights, just to name a few. Each week students attend a talk/seminar style meeting where special guests and visitors deliver engaging presentations and provide thought-provoking discussion points for the students, encouraging students to collaborate and talk to new peers as well as learn more about topics that interest them. Project Minerva began at the start of this academic year (2021/22) and has been planned around six main pathways: Politics, Power and Justice, Art, Creativity and the Imagination, Science Technology and the Environment, Health, Ethics and the Mind, Culture, Identity & Community, and Sport, Success and Leadership.
It provides secondary students with the opportunity to develop their analysis, reflection, and deeper critical thinking skills beyond the classroom. Project Minerva was designed for and is delivered to gifted and talented students on a weekly rotation, at lunch times or after school. BIS Abu Dhabi has developed a co-curricular program ‘Project Minerva’ as a way to celebrate and champion the Gifted and Talented individuals across the Secondary School.
